THE PADDOCK MI RIDER
CASE.

The trial of the persons accused of the
murder of Rev. Mr.. Haddock in Iowa
which is now in progress attracts at
tracts attention throughout the country
on account of the fact that the worthy
man who was the victim of the assassin S
pistol was killed on account Of his activ-
ity in the temperance cause.
The testimony published in our dis
patches, for several days past showed an
effort was made to bride parties for $500
to fog the clergyman and man by the
name of Walker But the men approach
ed with that proposition, to their credit
be it said, would have nothing to do with
the villainous piece of work cut out tor
them Then the conspirators, according
ITO the testimony of H. L. Leavitt, who
was himself liquor dealer and ascot
ated with the gang of miscreantS who
finally murdered Mr.. Haddock, under
took to dog the latters steps to see
where and how he got evidence against
them. 1t was while engaged in this
work that Arnsdorf perpetrated the crime
for which he is now on trial. Leavitt' s
testimony is very clear and positive, and
unless it can be impeached ought to re-
suit in Arnsdorf's conviction and eXecu-
ton. Leavitt formerly lived in Leaven-
worth and bore anything but an enviable
reputation while here. 1t is probable,
however, that his testimony in the case
is substantially correct.-Times.

WHAT CHAS. SUMNER SAID.

Hon. Chas. Sumner spoke with
prophetic vision when he said:
Take down your map, and you will find
that the territory of Kansas, more than
any other region, occupies the middle spot
of North America, equally distant from
the Atlantic on the east and the Pacific on
the west; from the frozen waters of Hud-
sons bay on the north and the tepid gulf
stream on the south, constituting the pre-
else territorial center of a whole vast con
tinent To such advantage of situation,
on the very highway between two oceans,
arc added "a soil of unsurpassed richness
and fascinating, undulating beauty of
surface, with a health giving climate,
calculated to mature powerful and gen
erous people, worthy to be "a central pivot
of American institutions

THE NORTH SIDE
Is Also on the Eve of a Boom.

Dodge City has no circumscribed limit
in her area-she takes in the surrC nding
hills and valleys for miles in circu:nfer-
ence. Her limits on the south, on the
east. on the west and on the north take
in a range of territory requiring the sew
eral quarters to be designated By well
known suburban titles as tie South Side,
the West Side, the East Side, and the
North Side On the North Side the res
licences have been stretching out over the
broad prairie, until the limits of the city
extend over mile from the court house.
Over the hills on the north, to the cOrpo-
ration line. are hundreds of fine resi-
dences. dotting the valley and the plain
showing the evidences of Dodge City S
industry, thrift and enterprise. But the
limits of the North Side corporation is
not vet reached The city environments
will vet embrace the thousands of fine
acres lying contiguous. and costly resi-
dences will adorn the beautiful plateau
extending along the divide" and beyond
on the north side of that. Dodge City s
suburban fields and gardens viii be reach
ed by street cars. and these modern con
veyanccs will shorten the apparently long
distance from the court house to the
elysian fields stretching in either direc-
ton.
But we must remark, by way of intima-
ton. that the North Side is on the eve Of
boom, and the boom is no fly trap to
catch insects in search of some sweet
morsel. 1t is veritable affair, and will
develop its proportions on short order,
and i'm dine time

GREAT is WICHITA.
~
What They do With Their Money.

The Leavenworih Times correspondent
has been at Wichita. He says:
1t is easily to be seen what Wichita
does with her money. Her citizens
spend it in building more brick blocks
The real estate men are the princes. They
made fortunes in a week, put the money
into businsss blocks, and these add to the
boom If the real estate men should quit
spending money they would cease ma
king money, and there would be visible
decline in the boom. The crowds of rest
less eager, hopeful and eXpectant money
makers that throDg Douglas avenue and
Main street show the intensity and force
of people. Every man is in a hurry.
Every man moves as if he lived in Chica-
90 or Wall street all his life

Everything indicates surely that more
people will come to Southwest Kansas
this year, and more money will be inves-
ted than ever before known in the history
of the state or of the county, for that
matter. Large numbers of big transac-
tions are developing and will materialize
in . few days. Men of means are coming
in from every direction, and they all come
with the avowcd intention of investing.
As soon as the weather becomes settled
building will take start The times are
certainly suspicious and the owners Of
city and farm property certainly have
good cause to congratulate themselves.

Millet is sure sud profitable crop
in southwestern Kansas. It grows rap
idly and rank. This is in part owing
to the fact that the soil is rich and
fresh. The yield per acre Is from three
to seven tons. The stem grows from
three to five feet high, and the heads
from three to seven inches long. Many
horses will quit eating corn for millet
AS proyender it is very nutritious. All
